A shotgun can be used as a rifle, but a rifle cannot be used as a shotgun unless it has a shotgun barrel- then it would be a shotgun.
The savage bolt ction shotgun is a loophole in the regs IIRC it is rifled but takes a shotgun shell ?
Combination guns ( shotgun and riufle barrels) of course can be used but only the shotgun barrel not the rifle.
This is only my opinion, mind you, I'm sure there will be someone else that has an oposing view.
